The insistent cybernetic beat and distorted synth washes of Paragon Cause’s “Someone Else” provides a fascinating contrast with the song’s tuneful vocals. Its menace is both sonic and thematic. Like a reminder to oneself to trust one’s own instincts and perceptions rather than listening to “someone else” that might not have your best interests at heart or in matters that are better dealt with personally. The emotional urgency of the track and its enigmatic subject matter makes it seem like a good song for the soundtrack to a more fully realized film version of Æon Flux as its sound spans a 90s cyberpunk vibe and something more of the now looking forward, sounding like an edgily brooding downtempo track.
